Even if Microsoft wanted to buy it would be blocked by the regulators. It's a different time to when Disney brought everything they wanted.

Microsoft have absolutely no experience in producing films and TV shows or shown any interest. Look how many years it's taken to finally take Xbox and gaming seriously. It got so bad last gen I thought they were going to stop making consoles.

Will never happen and don't want them to ruin Netflix.

@armondo36 No they wouldn't sue but Microsoft would have to pay Activision 3 billion. I believe it's in the contract if they walk away from the deal.

This is getting ridiculous hope it gets thrown out and the plaintiffs loose money. Just a few salty fanboys trying it on nothing more.

Unfortunately could stall the deal even further probably won't close until 2024 if ever. I think Microsoft should just let it go and invest the money elsewhere. They can start by hiring more staff so they can get games out for a start.

I was tempted to buy Elden Ring but really not sure if I would like it as not a fan of souls games. A shame it doesn't have a trial or demo so I could be certain. Nothing worse than buying a digital game you don't like and getting refused a refund cause it's been played a couple of hours.

Saying that I should save my money as just spent £330 on the Final Fantasy XVI collectors edition. I could only justify it by calling it an early Christmas present.

@Feffster I think Ubisoft+ on consoles might have been cancelled at this point. Most of the games have been made available on Game Pass and PS+ so don't see the point in it.

Not interested in adds no matter how cheap as would ruin the experience. Wouldn't even be worth it if you can't access first party games for 6 months or the full catalogue.

They should deffo get rid of gold and make online free we already pay for internet and PC players are not forced to pay extra each month. It's been poor for years and made even worse removing 360 games and reducing the amount of games they give out.

On Xbox XII they are all good in their own way as I like all the different settings. Prefer the action ones as I really don't like turn based pleased they swapped to make them more modern.

Looking forward to XVI on PS and treated myself to an early Christmas present by pre ordering the collectors edition. I would have brought it on Xbox but not waiting years.

I have a Samsung 8k 950R QLED I haven't noticed anything. Guessing that I have to manually add it.

Won't hurt to try to see how it works but certainly won't be replacing my Series X.

@FraserG It would be a safer bet but you could also get the Prime Evil collection with both games as in the sale. I think it's £16.49.

@FraserG It would be but still has many issues look at the reviews. The Diablo games are excellent especially 3.

I had to get it refunded a couple of weeks ago as the servers wouldn't work. I had great difficulty signing up for an account took several attempts. When the game finally did load there was no sound. However some seem to have no problems.

I find these pointless with the current layout as the tiles cover up most of it.

I'll stick with boring motes unless they let you reduce the amount, size and layout of titles.

@Tharsman Does seem strange unless Amazon are perhaps making a TV series for Prime.

Honestly they should just drop this and make online free.

It's not a good look when PS+ is mostly very good. I'm Sure the suits at M$ can see all the negative comments and press.

@BAMozzy I'm certainly not expecting perfection just don't want loads of game breaking bugs. For example on Skyrim still has many bugs years after launch as they don't fix them. The last straw for that game when the save corrupted after playing over 40 hours wiping my progress.

At least Cyberpunk eventually got fixed.

@grumpypotato I hope they help them as Bethesda Quality Assurance is shocking normally.

Needs a release date I suspect that this might get another delay.

I'm worried about how buggy it will be. Skyrim is still full of bugs many years after releasing and I could never finish it.

Seems like I spent my hard earned rewards points wisely. Will be spending many hours just with the pets and flying. Hopefully it's in a good state and not full of bugs.

This is one of the games I'm looking forward to most next year and Final Fantasy XVI

@trev666 Nothing wrong with Mass Effect Andromeda it's a good game after the bugs were fixed.

We obviously are never going to agree and have different tastes. At least we have been civil to each other.

@trev666 I thought As Dusk falls had a weird PowerPoint presentation where characters didn't move I don't think it worked very well. I appreciate that they tried something different.
Also thought the ending of the story was rushed and could have done with another book or two. It wasn't a bad game overall but Horizon Forbidden West beats it hands down but it wasn't as good as the first one.

@trev666 Still loads better than what M$ put out this year.

A plague tale: Requiem although the ending was a bit brutal. Also Hugo could be annoying.

None of the Xbox exclusives as barely released anything apart from the awful Pentiment.

Sony killed it with Horizon Forbidden West and God of War: Ragnarok. Hopefully next year M$ actually has something to offer of their own. Phil and co were happy to praise and advertise for PS while they had nothing but broken promises for another year.

Couldn't care less would rather Rockstar release something new and not milk GTA 5.

Might be better to cancel the last gen versions as they are clearly struggling to get them to run. Time for last gen to die anyway as holds games back.

Fortunately doesn't bother me as have a Series X. Looking forward to playing this as pre ordered the deluxe edition for free with rewards points.

The worse game I've played this year by far is Pentiment. Such a boring game.

M$ better do better next year no more excuses. Funny that a lot of the lower rated games were on Game Pass day one. Where is the quality control when selecting.

I recently bought a barely used Series S for £75 from Vinted. It didn't have a controller but I have plenty of spare ones.

My dad will be happy this Christmas as he only has an original PS4 and desperately needs an upgrade. He can also use my Game Pass and paid for games for free. Should keep him busy now he's retired.

@Carck I'm talking about the missing ones on Xbox that seem unlikely to get released. Mainly 7 remake and XIV

I'm certainly not buying this when other games can't be played and no guarantee that there coming. Many people will think the same as me so they will have low sales for this game.

Seems to always be Xbox that gets games years after every other platform.

@Notoriousmakavel Makes no difference the fact remains that this franchise might as well be Sony exclusive. I can't see many people bothering with this on Xbox with the other games not releasing on this platform including the online game.

@Carck Hope your happy waiting many years or never for them to arrive on Xbox

Why even bother to release it on Xbox when it seems it won't ever get 7 remake or future installments.

I hope Square Ennix expect poor sales on Xbox. Might as well just announce it as a Sony exclusive franchise at this point.

Really looking forward to the DLC but it's been so long since I've played it have forgotten the story and controls. Hopefully the DLC is set in space the best ending

Shame that they are only doing one expansion but suppose it makes more sense to start work on the sequel. Taken too long to fix a broken game that shouldn't have been released.

@Would_you_kindly I'm talking about the deluxe edition I wouldn't be interested in a base game with missing content.

@Fenbops It is for the deluxe edition for the series X I don't buy last generation games. I haven't paid for a new console to play the inferior version. I only buy digital these days as don't have the space to store loads of games.

Shame they don't use smart delivery but obviously done to charge more. A scummy anti consumer move.

Sorry but reading all the average reviews means I won't be buying as not worth £70 for a short linear game. Might take a chance when it's £10 or less.Kinda knew it wouldn't be that good as it's just an inferior Dead Space clone without any originality.

The Dead Space remake will be better and won't be buying that either as happy to wait for it to go on Game Pass.

Not surprised that people are leaving considering that the game is average at best. They did a poor job just like Bonnie etc and won't be missed.

Hopefully finally means that more competent management can be hired as Halo has been poor since 343 took over. I would actually rather ID had the franchise.

I couldn't stand Pentiment incredibly boring with endless walls of pretentious text with no voice overs. 1 out of 10 and is actually the worse game I've played this year by far.

Disappointed with Obsidian I really hope M$ ups it's game next year and finally starts delivering. Last chance or many will leave the platform for a competitor with a regular schedule of quality games.

Nobody will be accepting another year of excuses.

Why bother to announce the date unless confirmed. I'm guessing that it's either a mistake or the deal wasn't signed in the first place.

They should only announce stuff if deffo coming to Game Pass as avoids disappointment. Annoying that this keeps happening.

Pointless talking about Elder scrolls 6 when they can't even get Starfield out.

Should rename it to Trash with Gold another poor month. PS+ Essential is loads better.

Time to get rid and have free online they would get many more new players, don't understand why they haven't already.

I would rather M$ use the money to invest in the studios they already have. Maybe actually hire competent management and some more staff to get games out. No reason why the studios they have can't be expanded so they can make more titles at once.

All these studios and they can't get one decent game out in a year. Obviously just trying to buy themselves to the top taking the easy option instead of hard work.

This money could be better used elsewhere.
